It is proposed that the 2012 Conference will analyse the significance of Alvar Aalto and his heritage from various angles and on various scales. There has been a wealth of general
studies on Aalto, as well as building monographs, but it is now time to take the next step in
researching his architecture and influence.

The seminar will be a multidisciplinary academic meeting, at which architects,
researchers, historians and others interested in the subject will be invited to present their
own academic contributions to the discourse on Aalto.
